Description
High Gloss iconic album jacket cover. A UK or British release. The record is a true stereo release in the original analog. This is a later re-issue, but still contains the original sound. Labels are a later variant on Parlophone Records. This is the second release from the Fab Four. Released in England in November, 1963. Just in time for Christmas. The American version of this LP is called Meet the Beatles. Meet the Beatles was the first Capitol Records release. It was released in January, 1964. The American Version may not be true stereo, rather a re-channeled Momo version to imitate stereo. The Beatles really had no input to the Capitol releases. The Beatles preferred to record in Mono. This copy of With The Beatles vinyl record, with matrix numbers YEX 100-5 / YEX 111-5, and catalog number PCS 3045 is a UK stereo pressing, most likely from the late 1970s to early 1980s. Two EMI boxes or EMI logo = 1970s reissues. Likely Release Period: Circa 1979–1981, based on matrix suffix and label style. Non-flipback laminated sleeves are typical of 1970s–80s. The silver/black Parlophone label with two EMI box logos confirms this is the 7th UK stereo pressing. It’s considered a solid listening copy—not the rarest, but reliable for everyday play. YEX 100-5 / YEX 111-5 is a 1976–1980 reissue on the Parlophone label, and it’s generally praised for its solid sound quality—especially considering it’s a later analog pressing. While not the rarest version, it’s still a desirable UK pressing with strong audio fidelity and historical value. With The Beatles in its UK stereo release (catalog number PCS 3045) is a true stereo album. True stereo means that the left and right channels contain distinct audio information, recorded or mixed separately to create spatial depth. This is different from “fake stereo” (or duophonic), where mono recordings are artificially split and processed to simulate stereo. The early U.S. Capitol releases certain Beatles tracks were issued in fake stereo. But the UK With The Beatles stereo LP is entirely true stereo. With The Beatles were mixed in true stereo for the UK stereo LP. However, the stereo mixing style of 1963 was experimental and often extreme. Melody Maker called it “a confident follow-up to Please Please Me,” highlighting tracks like “All My Loving” and “It Won’t Be Long” as standout examples of their songwriting growth. Musical Highlights • “All My Loving”: Widely praised for its melodic sophistication and emotional resonance. • “Don’t Bother Me”: George Harrison’s first composition, noted for its moody tone and surf-rock influence. • “Money (That’s What I Want)”: A raw, energetic closer that showcases Lennon’s vocal grit and the band’s R&B roots.
